Cestus

Cestus, also known as The Giver and most commonly recognized as The Giving Tree Co. is an Elder Aspect who is recognized by many as the most "relatable" Aspect due to Her very human upbringing. Cestus is very open with her origin, the death of Her late husband, Her daughter and their struggle to make ends meet until Her daughter grew independent and moved away. Her story moves millions and has been recognized as a crucial component to the overall success of food and housing availability in Beaumont. Her Vox Ultima and their corporation, The Giving Tree enlist tens of thousands of monthly volunteers who accept, sort and distribute funding, food, personal supplies and toiletries, building supplies, real estate, childcare products and other donations to millions around the world. Perhaps most well-known for distribution are Firstgivings, Secondsgivings, Thirdsgivings, Fourthgivings and Lastgivings which occur sequentially during every Idolstag of Frostbreak. During these events volunteer numbers reach into the hundreds of thousands or millions requiring some of Beaumont's most complicated logistical planning to be successful. Cestus Herself can often be spotted in remote villages, often on Kiqueo, offering her own labor, food and love to those most in need.   Much like the Aspects that quietly shape Beaumont’s destiny, Cestus' Giving Tree stands as one of the world’s most trusted humanitarian corporations operating relief efforts, medical sanctuaries and wish-granting initiatives across Pægor and Kiqueo without cost to those in need. Recognized instantly by its wicker picnic basket sigil, the Giving Tree is often the first presence at sites of catastrophe deploying man and mana-powered clinics, world-renowned medics and neutral aid zones that are honored even amidst open conflict. Its reach extends beyond physical charity overseeing blood, mana, non-perishables and financial donations, carefully recorded within vast ledgers to ensure aid is distributed where it will preserve the greatest measure of life and stability. During major disasters the Vox Ultima are said to appear in dozens of cities at once, a feat that has fueled persistent rumors of temporal duplication. Outside of such events, its emblem is universally understood as a promise of sanctuary; many nations enforce strict protections around The Giving Tree facilities with severe penalties for interference. Though officially neutral and humanitarian in purpose, the corporation’s unparalleled resources and meticulous accounting of generosity have made it an indispensable pillar of the modern world where compassion is freely given. Remarkably, nearly every corporation and business offer donations to Cestus not only for the notoriety of being named a donor but for the prosperity of Beaumont as a whole.
